My Favorite Bread Stuffing Recipes

MY FAVORITE BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Put the butter in a large, deep skillet or Dutch over medium heat. When melted, add the onion and cook, stirring, until it softens, about 5 minutes. Add the nuts and cook, stirring almost constantly, until they begin to brown, about 3 minutes.
• Add the bread crumbs and the herbs and toss to mix. Turn the heat down to low. Add the salt, pepper and scallions. Toss again; taste and adjust the seasoning. Add the parsley and stir. Turn off the heat. (At this point, you may refrigerate the stuffing, well wrapped or in a covered container, for up to a day before proceeding.)
• Pack into a turkey if you like before roasting, or just bake in an ovenproof glass or enameled baking dish for about 45 minutes at 350 to 400. (You can also cook it up to 3 days in advance and just warm it up right before dinner.)

OLD FASHIONED STUFFING

Steps:

• Allow the toasted bread to sit approximately 24 hours, until hard.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Crush the bread into crumbs with a rolling pin. Place the crumbs in a large bowl.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and celery and slowly cook until soft. Remove from heat and drain.
• Mix the eggs and chicken broth into the bread crumbs. The mixture should be moist, but not mushy. Use water, if necessary, to attain desired consistency. Mix in the onion, celery, rubbed sage, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
• Press the mixture into the baking dish. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until the top is brown and crisp.

EASY BREAD STUFFING

• Stir in the milk until the stuffing is well moistened but not too wet.
• Season to taste and transfer to a greased loaf tin or cast iron skillet.
• Place the stuffing in the oven and allow to bake for 30-45 minutes until golden brown.

MOM'S OLD FASHION BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• In a large skillet cook celery and onion in melted butter over medium heat until tender, but do not let get brown. Remove from heat.
• Stir in seasoning and lemon pepper.
• Place bread cubes in a large bowl; add onion mixture and beaten egg.
• Drizzle with enough chicken broth to moisten; toss lightly to combine. Add a little milk for flavoring.
• Spoon stuffing into neck and body cavities of the turkey.
• If you have some leftover, place it in a buttered casserole dish. Bake covered for 30-45 minutes or until heated through. You will want to add more chicken broth so that it isn't so dry. When it cooks inside the turkey it gets very moist, but in a baking dish it gets dry.
• Recipe makes enough for a 15 pound bird.

AMAZING BREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Melt butter in deep kettle.
• Add onions and celery, simmer until slightly soft.

• Transfer to a covered baking dish and bake for 30 minutes at 325 degrees(possibly longer for a crispier affect).

THE BEST SOURDOUGH STUFFING

Steps:

• Chop the onions, celery, mushrooms, garlic, optional walnuts or chestnuts, and herbs.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. Saute and add salt and pepper to taste (the amount you use will depend on your preference and your stock e.g. homemade unsalted or not).
• When the vegetables have softened, add the herbs and optional nuts, and saute for another minute or so, then add 1 cup of the stock.
• In a medium bowl (with a pour spout if possible), beat the eggs, then add the remaining 2 cups of stock.
• Place your cubed sourdough bread in a large mixing bowl. (You could put the bread directly in the baking pan, but stirring may be difficult.)
• Pour the saute mixture over the cubed bread and mix. Then pour on the stock-egg mixture and fold everything until it's thoroughly combined.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly oil or butter a 9x13 baking dish.
• Transfer the mixture to your baking dish and spread evenly, cover and let sit for about 20 minutes for the bread to absorb the liquids.
• After the rest, if the top bread cubes seem dry and there is no loose liquid underneath, sprinkle on 1-2 cups of water, stir everything again inside the pan, and then put the pan in the oven.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the internal temperature is at least 160°F. Cover with foil if the stuffing begins to brown too much.
• After removing from the oven, sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if you want.

TEST KITCHEN'S FAVORITE STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Divide bread between 2 rimmed baking sheets and spread in a single layer. Bake, stirring a few times, until crisp and dry, about 40 minutes. Let cool. Break a piece open to make sure it's dried all the way through; if not, bake a few more minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onions, celery, and 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft and golden in places, 7 to 9 minutes. Add garlic, sage, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook 1 minute. Pour in wine; cook until mostly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. Brush a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with butter. Transfer onion mixture to bowl with toasted bread; add parsley. Drizzle with stock, stirring to combine. Stir in eggs to evenly coat. Transfer to prepared baking dish. Top with buttered parchment; loosely wrap with foil. (If making ahead, refrigerate at this point until you're ready to bake.) Bake 20 minutes. Uncover; continue cooking until golden on top, about 20 minutes more. Serve, with more parsley sprinkled on top.
